It's My Life by AJ About thirty minutes after everyone from the crash scene had been transported to the hospital, just about everyone's injuries had been treated. Thank God they were all minor injuries. Roni only suffered from a bump in the head. She still had to go to the hospital though. They had to make sure there were no internal injuries, and stuff like that. After she was finished getting checked out, she decided to stroll the halls of the hospital. The other driver, the mother of the 3 little girls and 2 little boys also in the minivan, had just a few scratches on her. And most of her children were afflicted with those same wounds. Most of them. The last child, a seven-year-old boy, with dirty blonde hair and big blue eyes had a broken leg. While he was getting the cast put on, Roni had the bad luck of being in the very hallway as the mother of the boy. The boy's mother saw Roni, and decided to confront her, not having a clue who she really was. "What the hell were you thinking?" She shouted at Roni. "Who said I was thinking?" Roni replied coldly. "You had no right to play God with my life, and with the lives of my children. No right. Damn you!" The mom shouted as the doors to the room where the little boy was getting his cast put on were opened. "Mommy!" He shouted. "Hey, Petey." The Mom said with the sound of tears in her voice. Petey, the little boy, saw Roni, and recognized her. "You're the one that crashed into Mommy, huh?" He asked her. Roni didn't respond. She just strolled away. She seemed to be doing a lot of that lately. When she came to an empty corridor of the hospital, she stopped. Then suddenly, she felt two hands on her. She hurried up and turned her chair around to be face to face with Josh and Sam. "How long have you been there?" Roni snapped. "We just got here." They replied in unison. "Roni!" Abbey shouted as she saw her daughter and ran to her. "Are you alright?" Abbey hesitated to hug her. "I guess." She mumbled as she saw her father right behind her mother. "Josh, Sam. Do you think you can give us a minute alone with our daughter?" Jed said harshly. Josh and Sam looked at Roni sympathetically as they said in unison, "Sure thing, Mr. President." They turned and left. They still had no clue why they were there in the first place. Roni looked up into her father's eyes for a brief second. She saw anger, frustration, anger, annoyance, anger, love, anger. As she moved her glance to the ground, she said, "Dad..." "Not here!" Jed shouted at her as he led the way into an empty hospital room. "What the hell were you thinking?" He slammed the door shut. "I could tell you, but I don't think you want to know." She muttered. "What was that?" Jed's voice still shouting. "I said you probably don't want to know." She repeated herself, only with a much higher tone. Then she looked back up into his eyes. Still seeing only anger, she snapped at him. "I WAS TRYING TO KILL MYSELF!! There, are you happy? I told you. I was trying to kill myself! I hate my life! I hate what it has become. I hate it. I wanted to end it. I was trying to kill myself." Roni screamed back at him. "Roni!" Abbey said as Roni took off out the door, yet again leaving her parents behind. TBC...
